Some finder problems

1. when I hover my mouse over an audio file on my desktop, usually a little play button appears on it. It's not doing that anymore.(how do I fix this?) By the way, when I tried to double click on it, it opened it in the older quicktime 7 rather than the newer quicktime that Snow leopard comes with.
2. When I right click on a file and select "move to trash", It says are you sure you want to delete this? Normally it would just move it to the trash)

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
1. Go to Users/yourname/Library/Preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
2. Finder > Preferences > Advanced uncheck the "Show warning..." box.
EDIT:
opened it in the older quicktime 7.
Get Info on the file (command-i) and under the header "open with" choose Quicktime Player.app

Every time I click a folder arrow to open...finder reframes my window view. And other finder problems

When using the finder windows sorted either by name or date modifed, when I click a folder arrow, the window reframes to the center (or some other spot) that means I need to scroll back to the folder. When I change an item in a folder when sorted by date modfied, it of course moves to the top, but my window view stays centered where I am, and I have to scroll to the top to find the folder I'm working on. Both situations have the feel of "what I'm working on just dissappeared". I have become used to it, but it is one of the things in Lion that I hate. Is there a workaround...a way to keep the finder window view where it is when I click the open folder arrow, or to reframe to the top if I make a folder change and have the sort set by date modifed?
Mail behaves in the same manner where the view of read and unread wildly scrolls itself when clicking an unread mail. I have tamed this by creating a smart mailbox of unread e-mail, but it seems to be some system wide preference for an unknown sort view that I would like to fix.
Also, when I choose the sort by label option in the finder window, all the red pops to the top, but then all the other labels are scattered and not sorted as a for instance...
Perhaps this is fixed in Mountain Lion?
Thanks for any help.
I am preparing to upgrade to Mountain Lion this weekend, but if I have some system problem, I would like to resolve it before I go forward.

Hello Josegued,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you may have a customized keyboard shortcut created. You can take a look at this article to see how to remove it.

My computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos has a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up

my computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up the library file because its not there. I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place. I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.

Details please
What version of iPhoto and of the OS?
i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them.
Exactly what did you do and how did you do it? this ay be the cause of your issue but without details we can n=ony guess
my iphoto only shows only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them,
where do you see htis? In the iPhoto window? what does "try to pen them" exactly mean?
originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark.
Ok - this usually has a simple solution - do you still have a copy of the library that has this problem?
also I can't back up the library file because its not there.
This makes no sense at all - all of your previous statements indicate that you do have an iPhoto library but have some problems with it
By default your iPHoto library is located in your Pictures folder and is named iPhtoo library - if tha tis not the case the you have moved or renamed it and only you know what you did until you tell us the details
I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place.
Again unless you actually share what and how you are doing thing but continue to simply state abstract problems it is no possible to assist you - details on using Time Machine are here -- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US -- and -- http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html ---
I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.
This would be better addressed in the iDVD forum - but again unlesss yu share detailed information no one can assist

I had bought iphone 4 from singapore and now i am relocated to india.....there is some hardware problem in the phone due to which i m nt able to use it.....how do i give the phone for repair and in which country?

i had bought iphone 4 from singapore and now i am relocated to india.....there is some hardware problem in the phone due to which i m nt able to use it.....how do i give the phone for repair and in which country?

The warranty is not international and only available in the Country of purchase .If the iPhone is out of warranty Apple or their Agents will also only give service in the country of original purchase.
So if you want Apple help you will have to return it to Singapore or find a 3rd party to repair it if they can in India as long as it is out of warranty and you understand that Apple would never help with that device in future if it has been opened by a 3rd party

Finder problems using network folders

I am using NFS in my setup with an iBook and a PowerMac G5 both using NFS to network to a Linux fileserver. I am having some unusual problems with the Finder. Specifically, when I try to copy files from a local to a mounted NFS folder using the Finder, it can cause the system to hang. Moreover, even when copying a file within an NFS folder to the same folder under a different file name and then deleting the copy, the Finder display often goes crazy sometimes refusing to display any files in the folder or even worse, scrambling the file and/or subfolder names in that NFS folder. The problem seems to be entirely in Finder because when I look at the same folder in Terminal, everything works fine -- there is no underlying NFS problem.
The problem is even more acute when I use the NFS union mount option. What I want to do in my iBook is to union mount a network users diretory on top of /Users -- this way, both local and network users will have their directories available to them in the same place. Union mounts drive the Finder crazy and this can be readily checked. The mount seems to work fine, and the finder displays the union-ed directory fine. However, when you try to look at any of the folders in the directory, I basically get a system folder that is not even in the same directory tree sometimes, and at others, random network folders. Again, when looking at things in Terminal everything seems to work fine.
What is wrong with Finder and NFS? How on earth can Finder have problems displaying a directory structure? I keep having other problems when using GUI based programs with NFS volumes -- random failures seem all too common while the Terminal seems to work fine each time. Is the Apple implementation of NFS hopelessly broken? Or is it just the Finder that has problems. Either way, I am surprised and concerned that a mounted network directory exhibits seemingly random behavior in a GUI. Any help on these issues would be much appreciated.

Seems to be new behavior that if you delete a directory you are currently in it jumps back to the root instead of a directory above or after the deleted one. Just press the back button and you will be back in the directory.

If I buy iPhone 6 without contract in Canada, will iPhone work in Europe, on Croatian network without unlocking or some other problems? Tnx

If I buy iPhone 6 without contract in Canada, will iPhone work in Europe, on Croatian network without unlocking or some other problems? Tnx

A contract-free phone is not the same thing as an unlocked phone.
If you purchase it through a carrier, it will very likely be locked to that carrier.
In the US, Apple stores, and only Apple stores, sell unlocked phones. The same may hold true in Canada.
Also keep in mind that warranty service will only be available in the country where you purchased the phone (Canada) and you will have to either send it to a friend/family member to get it repaired or make the trip yourself. Apple will not accept a shipment from outside the country of purchase.
Finally, while an iPhone from one country will generally work anywhere in the world, you may find that you do not get 4G speeds/full compatibility with a network outside of the country of purchase.

Hi, Im charan . I recently purchased iPhone 5 in Kuwait. And I live in India so I'm now in India. I'm facing some hardware problem in iPhone 5 Can I place it in INDIAN iStore for Warranty and they do it in warranty basis??

Hi, Im charan . I recently purchased iPhone 5 in Kuwait. And I live in India so I'm now in India. I'm facing some hardware problem in iPhone 5 Can I place it in INDIAN iStore for Warranty and they do it in warranty basis??

No, the warranty is not international and so will not be valid in India. You will have to take the iPhone back to Kuwait or send it to someone you know there who could take or send it for service and then ship it back to you. If you cannot do that, you will have to find an unauthorized repair shop in India and pay them to repair your iPhone, something which will void all future support from Apple.

MY IPAD 3 HAVE SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS

Hello Everyone
I have a 16gb ipad 3 and it got problems , since i updated it to the new version i had some serious problems ,
My ipad will not turn on when it plug in to the charger that on the wall or my ipod dock that i normally charge it on , it come up with the battery signal when it on charge and in the battery signal theres red lines through it and it goes to the apple logo after that it turns off and starts it again , ive reboted it , ive downloaded itunes agian to restart it that way but it wont come up on it at all . it starting to **** me off .. it has run off the 9o days or so period .. my last report that is to ring them to see if they can help . My ipad has a lock on it too and it has never done this before .......
Thanks Everyone
From Australia xx

Hello Krystal,
I would be concerned too if my iPad was not charging. I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this. I recommend following the steps below (these steps refer to an iPhone, but the steps also are relevant for an iPad):
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
You can find the full article here:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Once you get your iPad running again, follow the steps in the article below if you do not recall your passcode:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Having Some Real Problems with SSI

Please forgive me if my questions seem inexperienced. I am
just learning how to incorporate server side includes into a new
site I'm working on and am having some real problems getting things
to work properly...
I have been reading everything I can find on SSI's, and have
finally got everything to work properly on my local system,
however, now, I'm having issues after uploading the files to my
server (IX Web Hosting).
According to this document (“How to incorporate
Server-Side Includes into an HTML page “) from the Adobe
Knowledgebase, step number 4 says to…
Text
“Highlight all the text displayed in black and delete it.
The HTML inspector should contain only the information in red. It
is especially important NOT to have <html>, <head>
or<body> tags in the SSI, because this will cause the HTML on
the page to become invalid once the SSI is inserted.”
Text
Well, I tried that, but the code just looks exactly as it
does in the code viewing pane. No RED characters anywhere! So I
just deleted all the <html>, <head>, and <body>
tags and saved the file.
Now, when I insert the SSI into a new html file (which I
saved as .shtml because that’s what my web hosting provider
requires) everything looks great on my local system, but when I
upload the files to my server and try to test the page with the SSI
inserted into it, I get the following error message:
HTTP/1.1 404 Object Not Found Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0 Date:
Sat, 05 May 2007 19:42:48 GMT X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Connection:
close Content-Type: text/html
404 Object Not Found
Both files are located in the same directory (maybe
that’s a problem?)
My question is simple, exactly what should I absolutely NOT
delete out of the source SSI file? Is there some part of it other
than the content I want to reference that needs to stay in there?
Also, both my server side include file and the html file that
references it are saved with the .shtml extension. Is this wrong?
Or does the ssi file need to be saved with an.ssi extension?
Again, sorry for the amateurish questions, but we all have to
learn sometime right?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
~Greg

Here's an shtml skeleton page -
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>
and here's 'foo.html' -
<p>Hello world</p>
Does that help?

Can I use a mini dvi to video adapter on my Macbook 7.1 of have some compatibility problems?

I have a Macbook 7,1 and I want to buy a mini dvi to video (s-video and rca) to plug my macbook to my analog TV.... I want to know, if this have some compatibilty problems... or not....
tengo una macbook 7.1 y quiero comprar un cable de mini dvi a video compuesto.... en la pagina de apple señala que esta diseñado para imac (intel) y powerbook de 12" que ya ni existen creo.... lo unico que quiero saber es si funcionaria o no el adaptador con mi macbook...

The first review posting on the product page is:
+dosen't work on mac pro with nvidia!!!!!+
+Written by PH from hamburg+
+August 27, 2007+
Which suggests no. I have heard from an Apple Store "genius" that it does.
Both are n=1, so I'd suggest a call to the Apple Store sales line (even if you don't order it that way).

I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies. After starting it in recovery mode, it will not allow me to download OS X Mavericks- it says the disk is locked. Any ideas? I do not have a back-up and do not want to erase everything before I have explored my options. Help?

try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard)
